The Extras
The Guastavino Construction Company designed this laminated tile to create a vaulted effect in wide arches. For another example, visit Guastavino's--the restaurant wedged under the Queensboro Bridge.
When to Go
The restaurant becomes much more sedate in the evenings--a good time to go for more attentive, less rushed service.
FourSquare Tips
Thirty-seven raw-oyster varieties, from Bluepoints to Beavertail, are the main attraction here, though the most popular dish is grilled swordfish over a frisse, mache and radicchio salad ($27.95).
This Grand Central favorite tops the Village Voice's Top 10 Oyster Bar list. The atmosphere alone is worth the price, with enormous arched ceilings spanning above the restaurant.

Invariably, the oysters will be ice-cold and perfectly shucked, plunked down without ceremony -- a throwback to when oysters were an everyman food. All they need is a squirt of lemon
Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. We would recommend getting a gin martini, dirty, with a dozen oysters on the half shell.
The Whispering Gallery, just outside the Oyster Bar door, invites lovers to whisper their secrets from one corner of the vaulted ceiling to the other. You must try it.
